  • a lithium ion secondary battery is a secondary battery having a high charge / discharge capacity and capable of high output.
  • Lithium ion secondary batteries have active materials capable of inserting and extracting lithium (Li) in the positive electrode and the negative electrode, respectively. And it operates by moving lithium ions in the electrolyte provided between the two electrodes.
  • lithium-containing metal composite oxides such as lithium cobalt composite oxide are mainly used as the active material for the positive electrode, and carbon materials having a multilayer structure are mainly used as the active material for the negative electrode.
  • the performance of the lithium ion secondary battery depends on the materials of the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the electrolyte constituting the secondary battery.
  • active material that forms an active material is being actively conducted. For example, silicon or silicon oxide having a higher capacity than carbon has been studied as a negative electrode active material.
  • silicon As the negative electrode active material, a battery having a higher capacity than that using a carbon material can be obtained.
  • silicon has a large volume change due to insertion and extraction of Li during charge and discharge. Therefore, in a secondary battery using silicon as a negative electrode active material, silicon is pulverized as the volume changes during charging and discharging, and thus falls off or peels from the current collector. For this reason, there is a problem that the charge / discharge cycle life of the battery is short. In view of this, a technique for suppressing volume change associated with insertion and extraction of Li during charge and discharge rather than silicon has been studied by using silicon oxide as a negative electrode active material.
  • SiO x silicon oxide
  • SiO x decomposes into Si and SiO 2 when heat-treated. This is called disproportionation reaction, and it is separated into two phases of Si phase and SiO 2 phase by solid internal reaction.

  • Patent Document 2 JP-A-2009-102219 discloses that a silicon raw material is decomposed to an elemental state in a high-temperature plasma and then rapidly cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature to obtain silicon nanoparticles. A manufacturing method for fixing in a SiO 2 —TiO 2 matrix by a sol-gel method or the like is described.
  • the raw material is limited to a sublimable material. Furthermore, it is known that the SiO 2 phase covering the Si phase changes to lithium silicate when Li is occluded, thereby generating irreversible Li in the negative electrode, and it is necessary to add an excess active material to the positive electrode. Moreover, in the manufacturing method described in Patent Document 2, high energy is required for plasma discharge. Further, it is presumed that the silicon-based materials obtained by these manufacturing methods have low dispersibility of Si-phase silicon particles and are likely to aggregate. When the silicon particles are aggregated to increase the particle size, a secondary battery using the same as a negative electrode active material has a low initial capacity and also deteriorates cycle characteristics.

  • silicon materials manufactured at a heat treatment temperature of about 500 ° C. have a large BET specific surface area, so that the electrochemical alloying reaction between silicon and lithium ions proceeds efficiently. Therefore, although the secondary battery using the silicon material as a negative electrode active material has a large capacity, the amount of lithium and electrolytic solution that decomposes on the active material surface also increases, and silicon crystallites are not formed in the silicon material. For this reason, the initial efficiency related to the insertion and extraction of lithium in the electrode is low due to insufficient conductivity.
